Text overflows in many places, especially in translations #82

Description

@GoogleCodeExporter
Text currently overflows in a lot of places, especially when dealing with 
translations. This problem is caused by a too simplistic text rendering systems 
that can't properly deal with dynamic line breaking and can't scale text.

Suggestion on how to fix the issue:

* for one-line-text do not render text directly, but render it to a Surface, 
then scale that Surface to fit into a given max-width

* for multiline text, use wordwarp, if possible also allow scrolling of text 
that is to long

* as preparation for all of this text should be done with proper 
GUI::Components, not low level gc.print_center() hacks
